but the thing that makes it a hero class is its starting zone and raised starting level.

they still are that so i dont see what you mean

I just explained what Hero Class means like 2-3 pages ago.... but ppl apparently don't bother reading what other ppl say...

I'll say it again in summary: A hero class is exactly like a normal class except that they have a Background story... and right now only DK's have a Background story...

Also it makes sense that Demon hunters would start at a higher level since Illidan at least was skilled in arcane and melee when he became a demon hunter so he didn't exactly start as a common lowlife... and probably every demon hunter worth his bread was skilled at something before becoming a demon hunter. So they don't really start from scratch, they have the knowledge they used to before becoming demon hunters, they just have to adapt to the fighting style of the demon hunters now... Just like death knights who were resurrected from fallen champions, they still retained some of their power but had to train to master their new powers... however they were still strong so they didn't start at level 1...

and they have their own starting zone and start at a level higher than 1

I'm sorry, but why is this blizz fanthread even up? Nothing's been confirmed and some think to make poll's and stuff...?

changing what level a class starts as could easily be changed, if blizzard is making a demon hunter class and they see this thread the feedback could help them decide what level to make them start as if they go the hero class route

Well considering blizzard has only one hero class, they wouldn't have to do something exactly like dks if the implemented another one. For WoW, I think really the only thing that would be essential is they have their own starting zone to start the story, rather than starting in a racial zone. They could easily do that and start at 1 if they wanted to.

i agree im just saying what blizzard said when they had to clarify what a hero class was when everyone was confused and thought it meant best class

The main thing I dislike about characters starting at above 1 is that it sucks for new players. Sure, it won't affect anyone playing now, but someone new coming into the game that really wants to play a demon hunter or death knight, will find themselves having to level up another class to to unlock the one they want to play.

if you dont plan on buying wow again unless its free to play than yes you dont deserve to put in input, people who play the game and plan to continue playing it do because we are the target demographic.

also dont worry you dont need any help to insult your intelligence

Who are YOU to decide who gets input or not? And insulting folks that dont agree with you is immensely mature. How much crying and moaning will you do when Blizzard decides that there will be no DHs in the next expansion?

What's with all the Demon Hunter class threads popping up lately? Is there something I missed, or is this just pure randomness? Oh well, level 1 should be starting level I guess.

its all wrathions fault :P

Anyway on second thought I'd kinda like starting as a lvl 1 with a unique "heirloom" set that grants a big boost to xp(somthing like 100% or even more) and changes with spec(and maybe evolves visually as you grow in power, like ever 10 lvls it gets more complex and detailed and awesome).

Like say you start with a blindfold, then you get your warglaives at lvl 10, then at 20 you start tattoing yourself, then at 30 you get more tattos, then at 40 the warglaives change ... something like that...

none as long as the story is good, you seem to have a personal problem with me

that would be cool

Like it makes any difference, really.
Abundance of heirlooms, LFG tool and revamped Azeroth make 1-60 leveling a joke, almost completable in one rainy autumn evening.
I like to start from level 1, it's really nice for my class play skill to start with just 1-2 abilities and gather them on my way to max level.
Giving me level 75 rogue to play for example, I'd have no clue how do i actually play it because I never played one.

Raised starting level surely is nice profession kickstart for proffesion-only alts. But in the end it barely saves any time looking how rapid first 85 levels are.

I'd say end the questzone at 80, 55 made sense because outland is accessible for 58s and up, and you got the XP for around 3 levels there. lvl 70 being the level cap for TBC would make a bit of sense too, but if you consider that at the start of wrath you started only 15-12 levels behind the previous xpac's levelcap, leaving only 1 xpac's zones to catch up.... 80 would be a good place to start, as you'd have to still do both Cata and MoP's content to catch up. Adding wrath content on top of that, would probably be too much for a hero-class.
